Emily Fournier 33, and her family were whitewater rafting on the Kennebec River Saturday with the Magic Falls Rafting Co. when she and two others were ejected from the raft as they paddled through one of the larger rapids on the upper Kennebec River at about 11:30 a.m. Fournier floated through a portion of the river after being ejected and was pulled back into the raft but was unresponsive. Emergency life-saving measures were performed until the raft pulled over at an emergency evacuation point at the Moxie Lake Boat launch, where it was met by EMS personnel, and Fournier was loaded into an ambulance. She was declared deceased at about 1 p.m.
